—Makes 20 to 24 patties
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
⅔ cup (small can) _undiluted_ Carnation Evaporated Milk
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 cups pecan halves
Mix sugars and Carnation thoroughly in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over
medium heat to soft ball stage (234° F.), stirring constantly. Remove
from heat. Add vanilla and pecans. Stir until mixture begins to thicken
